| Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy.Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs.Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告). But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men；effort and ability were thought to account for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones；their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than the less attractive ones.Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the"masculine"qualities required. This is true even in politics."When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, "says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates.She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness.The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices.They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes. 1. The underlined word "liability"(in Para.1)most probably means "________". A. misfortune B. instability C. disadvantage D. burden 2. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness________. A. reinforces(加强)the feminine qualities required B. makes women look more honest and capable C. is of primary importance to women D. often enables women to succeed quickly 3. Bowman"s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness________. A. turns out to be an obstacle to men B. affects men and women alike C. has as little effect on men as on women D. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women 4. It can be inferred from the passage that people"s views on beauty are often________. A. practical B. prejudiced C.oldfashioned D. pessimistic 5. The author writes this passage to________. A. demand equal rights for women B. emphasize the importance of appearance C. discuss the negative aspects of being attractive D. give advice to jobseekers who are attractive | |

| I"m usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today"s children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago. Why are America"s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation(隔离) brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place. Considering that we_can"t_turn_the_clock_back,_adults can still do plenty to help the next generation. At the top of the list is nurturing(培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress. To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for facetoface relationships, and they will get more sleep. Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It"s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news. Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale. Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn"t have to ruin your life. 1. According to the analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago ________. A. probably suffered less from anxiety B. were considered less individualistic C. were less isolated physically D. were probably less selfcentered 2. What does the author mean by saying "we can"t turn the clock back" in the third paragraph? A. It"s impossible to forget the past. B. The social reality children are facing cannot be forgotten. C. It"s impossible to slow down the pace of change. D. Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten. 3. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people"s state of mind are ________. A. illogical B. confusing C. surprising D. questionable 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. To children, anxiety is completely avoidable. B. TV and computer play an important role in isolating children from the real world. C. Exercise does not help to lessen children"s anxiety. D. Sometimes local news about crime and murder also affects children a little. 5. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is________. A. to lower their expectations for them B. to set a good model for them to follow C. to get them more involved socially D. to improve them with a safer environment | |

| As the global financial crisis hits the economy, it"s tough finding a job-especially if you"re competing with thousands of other hopeful students. Sometimes you get the interview, but don"t quite seem to land the job because you don"t have related experience. Don"t despair! Here are a few tips that might give you an edge. Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let everyone know you are looking for a job. Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it"s perfect. Have someone else read it over for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It"s worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet. When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills you have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job. Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview. Don"t be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified-if there"s room for advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entrylevel position. If you have the right skills and attitude, it won"t be long before you"re in the job you want. Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an improvement. When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the organization. Use every tool available to you.
